Yes it is different but my love for my dogs hasn't diminished since having 4 kids.

I used to be part of many IVF threads and a lot of childless (not by choice) people refer to their pets as fur babies. It's often tinged with sadness.

I find it very harsh to call the things they do ridiculous

I agree with you. I still love our pup to bits, and I love seeing him with DS. They are going to be best friends in a few years, and already have a lovely food sharing relationship. DS feeds the dog from his highchair - it's adorable!

As deeply as I love my dog, it's a different love to my son, but I would run into traffic to save either one of them.

I guess what I meant it's a different love, but that is not to discount it.
